About Us

Pack 212 was officially formed in October 1944 under the direction of Cubmaster L.H. Lundin at the Federated Church at 2710 15th St, Columbus, NE in the Cover Wagon Council. In 1948 Pack 212 was named part of the Petah-La-Shauro District of the Cover Wagon Council. The Mid-America Council was formed from a merger of the Covered Wagon Council and the Southwest Iowa Council in 1965. In 1978 the Pack started meeting at its current location at the First United Methodist Church at 2710 14th St, Columbus, NE. In 2018 it was decided to move the Pack Meetings to the First United Methodist Church Outreach Center at 3602 16th St, Columbus, NE. Some of the members of the Pack grew to be Fire Fighters, Business Owners, and leaders of different organizations in Nebraska and throughout the world.
